The idea of "Game" when it comes to dating, romance and plain ol'hooking up is a loaded term, especially in the modern climate of online dating apps and the more recent #MeToo movement. Teen, Jong and Mark discuss many aspects of it by first considering Wesley Yang's 2007 article "Game Theory," and then giving their reactions to the recent statements made by actor Kendrick Sampson at a just held Teen Vogue Summit.
